This is my temporary sum of spot info.  Please fill in as you can.

*Spots basics*



-RBN refers to the Reverse Beacon Network.  It reads only CW and digital,
www.reversebeacon.net  (www.reversebeacon.com is for sale.)

-DX Summit is a major source for spots, http://www.dxsummit.fi/#/

(or www.dxsummit.com but is not the actual spot site adr.)  Can get
historic spots for self.  May not be most popular site; no contest skimmer
spots?

-VE7CC (called CC) is a major spot provider,
http://www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/default.htm#prog  --and it provides selectable
filters.

ve7cc at shaw.ca



-AB5K info can be read and used.



-www.dxmaps.com displays world map and activity.



-friends will spot you and are the ultimate best way to get spot noticed,
it seems.



Tips:

-Be sure to use words “CQ” and “Test” along with your call sign and all at
same speed.

-List of all spots receivers at www.dxcluster.info

-NCDXF (Northern Calif.) has site to give beacon info, and beacon are also
spotted by RBN.


​Thanks to all who answered my first query.  73,​
